AAG 2005 CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL SESSION(S): Perspectives on Geographic Complexity
LOCATION AND DATES: Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting,
April 5-9, 2005. Denver, CO, USA
SPONSORS: Sponsored by the Geographic Information Systems and Spatial
Analysis and Modeling AAG specialty groups.
DESCRIPTION: There is growing interest in understanding geographical
phenomena with complexity-based research. Topics include, but are not
limited to:
1. Theory: Geographical and complexity theories, epistemological and
ontological considerations, role of deterministic complexity (e.g., chaos,
non-linearity).
2. Methods: cellular automata, agent-based models, genetic algorithms,
genetic programs, and artificial neural networks.
3. Issues: spatiotemporal patterning, representation, interaction, local
interactions and global structure, scale, self organizing systems,
emergence, and complex adaptive systems.
4. Applications: Political and socioeconomic, human-environment, and earth
system science.
